Talent in the Trenches will MAKE OR BREAK CU Buffs' season

Previewing the Season Opener with Georgia Tech

Shawn Drotar and Mat Smith are LIVE from Peckish on The Hill in Boulder ahead of CU's first game of the season against Georgia Tech on Friday night.

Talent in the Trenches will MAKE OR BREAK CU Buffs' season

CB DJ McKinney and OL Jordan Seaton received preseason honors. McKinney was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team, and Seaton named preseason All-American (2nd team). Other players returning alongside McKinney in the Colorado secondary have familiarity and playmaking ability to slow down opposing passing attacks. Transfers on the offensive and defensive lines can make considerable impact in both running the ball and stopping the run. Colorado's run game is one of the biggest question marks heading into the season, but Coach Prime has done all he can to bolster the trenches.

Coach Prime Beats Cancer | CU Buffs Run Game

Coach Prime and his medical team announced this week that he had surgery to remove his bladder and he is cancer free and ready to coach this fall. As he usually does, Deion Sanders approached the whole situation with positivity and a sense of humor. Charlie Offerdahl is medically retiring from football, and will pursue a degree in dentistry. After the Buffs' struggles in the run game the last couple seasons, can they become a more balanced offense with new QBs Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis?

Kaidon Salter vs Julian Lewis: Who Showed out at Black and Gold Game?

The Colorado Buffaloes' spring game showed that the quarterback competition between Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis will be ongoing through the spring and summer. Also, the transfer portal additions Coach Prime brought in on defense, like Martavius French and Tawfiq Byard, are ready to make an impact. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter's jersey retirement left a little to be desired, but now they are on to the next stage of their careers. How high will Travis Hunter be selected in Thursday's NFL Draft? And what is the best fit for Shedeur Sanders among teams that are looking to draft a quarterback?
